Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 3, 1906 Application filed September 21, 1905. Serial No,279,414.

T 0 (LZZ whom, it may concern:

' Be it known that I, LOUIS PEROTTI, a citizen of the United States,residing at Newark,

- in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Medicine-Bottles, of which the followingis a specification.

The present invention pertains to improvements in medicine-bottles, andmore particularly to a combination medicine-bottle and medicine measureror distributer.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whichsimilar referenceletters denote corresponding parts, and in which Figure1 is an elevation of the bottle, the neck part, serving as a liquiddistributer or measurer, being shown in longitudinal section with thevalve therein closed, as seen in direction of the arrows in Fig. 3. Fig.2 is a similar section of the liquid distributer' or measurer, showingthe valve therein open; and Fig. 3 is a cross-section through line a: a:of Fig. 1.

With reference to the drawings, a is the bottle, and 1) itspeculiarly-shaped neck, which is adapted to serve as a liquiddistributer or measurer. At the bottom the neck has anoutwardly-projecting flange c, which is provided with an inner groove(1. The neck has on its circumference a graduation. The outer end 6 ofthe neck receives an ordinary stopper f. The flange c has a slot 9leading from the groove d to the outside, and through the said slot aplate or disk 71, of suitable material, as glass, hard rubber, or thelike, which will tightly fit in the groove d, is inserted. The disk 'iis provided in the center with an opening 7', adapted to be closed up bya suitable valve 76, as a slidevalve, or, as shown, by a disk capable ofturning vertically. A suitable handle Z is fixed to the valve so as toproject outward and allow the opening or closing thereof at wish. Whenthe valve 7c is turned upright, as shown in Fig.

2, and the bottle reversed, the liquid will be allowed to flow into thelonger part of the neck and fill the latter to the desired extent andupon removing the stopper f canbe discharged into the mouth of thepatient with out using a spoon or the like.

The bottle, with the liquid-distributer, is formed of an integral pieceof glass, and the valve seat or plate 71 may be made, as stated above,of glass, hard rubber, or any other suitable material.

It will be understood that instead of the valve shown and specified anyother suitable valve arrangement may be used without departing from thespirit of my invention.

What I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is-

1. A combination bottle and liquid-distributer comprising a bottlehaving a neck adapted to serve as a liquid-distributer, and beingprovided on its circumference with a graduation, avalve at the bottom ofthe neck, said valve being adapted to be controlled from the outside,the outer end of the neck or the liquid-distributer bearing an ordinarystopper, substantially and for the purpose as specified.

2. A combination bottle and liquid-distributer comprising a bottlehaving a neck with a graduation on its circumference, said neck beingadapted to serve as a liquid-distributer, a flange at the bottom of theneck having an inner groove and a slot leading from the latter outward,a plate fitting in said groove and having an opening, a valve to closeup said opening and means to control the opening and closing of saidvalve from the outside, substantially and for the purpose as specified.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
